MS Word 2016

The Microsoft Word 2016 skills test is a fast, easy way to confirm whether a candidate has an understanding of concepts underlying Microsoft Word 2016. The test asks questions from a bank of questions for testing security purposes. HR Avatar periodically adds new questions to this bank to prevent cheating.

This test is fully mobile ready and operates on most modern mobile devices.

Specific topics covered within the test include:

• Understanding appropriate uses of Word
• Understanding Word capabilities
• Working with files
• Viewing document content
• Formatting text
• Formatting paragraphs, captions, and notes
• Modifying document layout and structure
• Protecting and restricting files
• Collaborating with others
• Reviewing documents
• Entering and viewing comments

The test consists of both text-based multiple choice and simulation-based performance questions, where the candidate is asked to perform tasks on a simulated MS Word 2016 interface.

Note that while the Word 2016 skills assessment is a useful and efficient instrument for confirming a base level of skill or knowledge about this important topic, it is not intended to pinpoint the exact level of candidate or skill. We recommend that skills tests, like this one, be used in parallel with other measurements, such as cognitive ability, job fit, and behavioral history. Each different type of test provides a valuable piece of information you can use when evaluating potential job performance.
